Warm Day

February 27th, 2012

ShareIt got up into the 70s last week so I washed the S14 and took it out for some driving. I figured I’d take a few more photos of the fresh fenders….I’ll eventually get some of the drivers side as well, haha. On a side note, got a new helmet and gloves, and also a [...]

Project Blister

January 21st, 2012

ShareDue to the damage my front fenders received I decided it was time to do some more metal work so I hopefully don’t have to get them fixed again. I came to the conclusion I am going to have to give up a little aesthetics for functionality. Due to how upright the wheel is at [...]

Moooooaarrr Cambaaaa

October 22nd, 2011

ShareSo I got the car back on the ground tonight, did a garage spec alignment and took it for a spin.  I have a vibration up front…so I may not have tightened something enough, I’ll check that out tomorrow. I was really pleased with the added camber slotting my camber plates gave me, it also [...]

No More Lack of Updates!

October 20th, 2011

ShareSorry for the radio silence!  I basically have been boycotting getting my car back together because I feel like I deserve some sort of break from working on it non stop for the main build.  I took a short trip to Switzerland in the middle of all of this (and that was an incredible trip), [...]

PSM Pro Knuckles!!!

September 21st, 2011

ShareSo I had a decent group of people needing fenders done (I roll fenders so if you’re in the Hampton Roads area of  VA and need it done hit me up!) so I decided to get Part Shop Max’s (Powered by Max) new pro knuckle mod.  It corrects roll center 45mm  and provides up to [...]

ShareI was able to get up to the shop a little earlier and got some shots in the full sun.  Its a little dusty now, so that’s what you’re seeing, not blemishes.  Hopefully the aero will be painted tomorrow.

Moar paint pictures…

June 6th, 2011

ShareWent by to pick my front bumper up – doing some fiberglass surgery tonight on it – and put my wheels on the car.  There was a little daylight left peaking out from behind the trees so I took some shots of the paint in the sun, you can really see how the yellow pearl [...]

Paint, what seriously?

June 5th, 2011

ShareIts finally been painted, I can’t believe it!  Should be all together by the end of next week.  I took the spoiler outside in the sun to try and show the gold pearl in the paint.

Rear Fender ‘Tubs’

April 19th, 2011

ShareToday we attacked the rear fender tubs with veracity. The hard part is done, now I just need to use some seam sealer, ‘great stuff’, and spray paint to finish them off! These pictures make them look really terrible but it’ll be much much better when they’re completed (and yes I know I need a [...]

Face Guard Time

March 27th, 2011

ShareSo, my friend BC at Ramey Built was having a good day when he decided that he wanted to make me a new bumper support bar.  He’s been working on it for several days, he hand bent the bar using some dies and gravity…and brute strength.  Today we got some smaller diameter tubing to do [...]
